Walls

Height:

The height of the wall can be locked in relation to a floor level or entered value. Free-standing
walls can be created by selecting Unconnected.

Location Line:
Which line should be positioned relative to the wall.
Chain:

Allow the wall to be continued based on the previous wall.
Offset:
The location of the wall can be offset in relation to the insertion line.

Radius:
If the wall is modeled with circles or arcs radius can be defined numerically here.

NOTE:
Walls should be modeled from left to right (clockwise), but walls can be reversed using the.
arrow when the wall is selected. The arrows are located on the outside of the wall.

Walls are created in a Plan View or 3D View outlined along a baseline (Location Line). The
baseline represents a vertical plane in the wall that does not change even if Wall type is
changed.
It is possible to place the base line in the wall in the following ways:

Location Line Description
Wall Centerline The center of the wall.
Core Centerline The center of the wall's core – in Revit Structure this, applies
normal for the supporting part of the wall, it can be the
supporting part of back wall in a sandwich element. Walls in
Revit Architecture also has a core, but it varies where the core
is located.
Finish Face: Exterior External exterior side of the wall.

Finish Face: Interior Internal interior surface of walls.
Core Face: Exterior The side of the core facing out of the building.
Core Face: Interior The side of the core that turns into the building.
